The editor of the Book of Live Stock Champions has experienced grreat 
difficulty in obtaining photographs of the subjects required for the work. 
Many breeders owning animals which ought to be in the book could not 
furnish suitable pictures or cuts. In such a work as this half-tone cuts 
made from photographs taken from life are preferred. The next book will 
contain no other.

All owners of first-prize winning jacks and jennets are specially re-

certainty or skill which would permit the jacks to be recognized in life.

EXPLANATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT.— It was with the utmost 
difficulty that life i)hotogT-aphs of live stock champions were obtained for this 
volume. As a rule, in beef circles photographs could only be obtained from 
owners in exceptional instances. This is partly because animal photography has 
not done justice to the subjects. The best photographs reproduced in this 
volume in any number were by Schreiber & Sons, of Philadelphia; Dean Thomp- 
son, of Chicago: and George Stark, of St. Louis.

TIVERTON, 2:04%; foaled 1895; bay gelding; trotter; sired by Galileo 
Rex, a pacer, with a four-year-old record of 2:12%. TIVERTON'S record 
is the world's fastest trotting record by a gelding in a race, and is held 
jointly by TIVERTON and Wentworth, 2:04Vo. TIVERTON was purchased 
to become one of a pair of fast road horses. He showed so much speed, 
however, that his purchaser decided to keep him in training, with the 
result that to-day, in the opinion of many, he is the fastest trotting horse 
before the public. It is a significant fact that in 1904, when nine years of 
age, and again this year at ten years of age, he has attained his highest 
flight of speed, which speaks well for the endurance of the American trotting 
horse.
